This interview, which comes in 8 parts, is part of a long list of interviews recorded by the Academy to chronicle TV history in front of and behind the camera.

*NOTE Michael J. Fox (Spin City, Back to the Future), Alan Alda (M*A*S*H, West Wing), Joseph Barbera (of Hanna/Barbera fame), Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie), Dick Van Dyke (Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins), William Shatner (Star Trek), Fess Parker (Daniel Boone/Davy Crockett..for those of you who remember), Jonathan Winters (Mork & Mindy), Julia Childs (TV chef)...just to name a few. Each interview part is about 20 - 30 minutes long and there are generally 4-8 parts to each interview and about 75 interviewees. That's about 225 hours of viewing. Astonishing.

Yes, he did. I accidentally ran across that information yesterday or the day before.
There was a raccoon involved as well somewhere along the way which happened to belong to Mark Dodson (voice of Salacious Crumb), I think that was for Salacious though. I can't remember if Mark mentioned his raccoon's name...I think he did. I'll have to go through my stuff again to see.
LOL Guess I'd have to add him too.

Ok, her name was Mabel. But...her voice was used for part of the sounds for E.T. not Salacious Crumb...that was all Mark.
